	Oklahoma Supreme Court
		Del City, 1998 OK 64, ___ P.2d ___ (Okla. 1998), the Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that damages for inconvenience, annoyance, and discomfort are injuries to the person rather than to property; thus, such damages were subject to the $100,000.00 limitation of the Governmental Tort Claims Act.

	Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting
		Oklahoma's high court rejected claims of cockfighting proponents that the law was unconstitutionally vague and deprived people involved in the cockfighting industry of their property without compensation.
		At the time, Oklahoma was one of only three states in the nation that permitted the bloodsport in which roosters are equipped with knifes or gaffs and usually fight to the death.
		The court held that "the interests of society and the community at large prevail" over claims by cockfighters that they are losing property without just compensation.

		The original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, when concurrent with that of the district court, is intended primarily as a 'stand by' service which it will exercise only when, from the exigencies of the case, great injury will be done by its refusal so to do.
		The Utah Supreme Court rejected this interpretation, instead, determining "a sensible and practical application of the ordinance would require a person to be present as a spectator in the sense of one purposefully and intentionally attending and observing such a fight, as opposed to some mere passerby happening to so observe it." Id. at 370.
		While Oklahoma's [***95] Act does not include a statutory definition of the term "spectator," it is the general "rule of statutory construction that words in a statute are to be understood in their ordinary sense, except when a contrary intention plainly appears." Gilbert v.

	03-6316 -- Strong v. Laubach -- 11/01/2005
		Swank, the Oklahoma Supreme Court allowed defensive non-mutual collateral estoppel to bar a claimant in State Industrial Court from asserting her deceased husband was an employee of Anco when, in an earlier proceeding in which claimant sued another party, a jury had determined the same question to the contrary.
		The supreme court then resolved the issue presented: "Because [the Strongs] failed to show that they had filed in the county clerk's office a certified copy of the garnishment summons timely issued by the federal court clerk, the trial court correctly concluded that their judgment lien was no longer efficacious." Id.
		The summons, which bears a notation that it was recorded in the Oklahoma County Clerk's office on 13 September 2002, neither reflects the date of its issuance nor bears a certificate that it is a true and correct copy of the document in the custody of the federal court clerk.

	NRTW: Oklahoma Supreme Court Upholds Right to Work: E-mail to a Friend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Oklahoma City, Okla. (December 16, 2003) — The Supreme Court of Oklahoma today rejected two separate attempts by union lawyers to deny Oklahoma citizens the right to choose whether or not to join or support financially a union, upholding Oklahoma’s constitutional Right to Work amendment which was passed by statewide referendum in September 2001.
		With its ruling the state’s supreme court effectively ended a two-year legal battle waged by attorneys for Governor Frank Keating alongside National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys against union lawyers who were bent on reclaiming the special privilege of compulsory unionism they enjoyed prior to that referendum.
		This afternoon, Oklahoma’s Supreme Court ruled that the union lawyers could not prove their assertion that Oklahoma voters would somehow not have approved the Right to Work amendment if they had known that it could not be applied to every single employee in the state.

		Now, a Commission funded by the Oklahoma legislature is investigating the riot, with the goal to "excavate a history that had been consigned to oblivion for the past 75 years," according to the distinguished historian John Hope Franklin.
		The Oklahoma Supreme Court, however, thought that a fire started by deputies after the people inside the buildings were arrested was caused at least indirectly by the riot.
		The Oklahoma Supreme Court's opinion in Redfearn deserves careful attention because, as the most result of an adversarial investigation, in which both sides had substantial financial interest in portraying the riot in the light most favorable to them, we have a searching investigation of the progress of the riot.
